Join ladies in the Hamptons at the Page Turners book club. Angela Graves, a retired English professor, helps reading groups in their discussions. Lissy Snyder is a wealthy newlywed hosting the afternoon soirees. Her secret - dyslexia. Maybe not the brightest bunny, but truly tries. A local gal, Michelle, is Lissy's housecleaner. She eavesdrops, picks up books that ladies leave behind, and keeps track of the gossip.
These three women all have personal issues. As Angela encourages discussions of heroines by Trollope and Flaubert, the act of reading will influence tough choices the women must make. I was entertained and amused, and I admit one can look for answers or inspiration in books.
Keep reading and questioning.
Hi Joanne - I've made the major decision to let go the books I know I'm not going to read, keeping the ones I really want - and then perhaps being able to read the lighter ones ... like perhaps these you mention. Cheers - but I do agree keep reading and questioning - cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteTime is too short and there are too many books. I’ll keep reviewing and something may pop for you. I am just back from Florida and will be back in action. Hope your October is off to a good start. Cheers.
